Addressing the Waste Emissions Charge

Early alerts reduce your financial exposure.

Précis
  • Problem: Methane emissions lead to WEC.
  • Solution: Actionable alerts delivered quickly.
  • Benefit: Minimize WEC, improve investor perceptions.

The rollout of the U.S. EPA’s Waste Emissions Charge (WEC) is imminent, prompting a surge of interest in satellite-based measurement of methane. Operators are finalizing their technology stacks to comply with the WEC, which imposes fees based on the duration and severity of a methane leak. Charges can range from a few dollars to thousands per hour, making early detection and remediation critical, particularly for super emitters.

Satelytics has developed a methane algorithm using publicly available imagery to provide mid-range spatial resolution measurements. Our rigorously field-tested Global Methane™ algorithm quantifies emissions flow rates down to 80 kg/hr. Each alert includes precise location flow rate and concentration data related to the methane plume.
